IT was the tale of two cities when politicians from Brisbane and Redland councils joined forces on Monday to lobby for road funding.
The two councils will seek funding for a joint investigation into solving traffic snarls between the two cities.
Redland mayor Karen Williams said the first Redlands and Brisbane Transport Working Group included local, state and federal politicians.
"There is no quick fix to our congestion issues, but I see today as the starting point to addressing the problems," she said.
"Roads don't stop at city or electoral boundaries so what happens in the Redlands affects Brisbane and vice versa."
Brisbane City Council Deputy Lord Mayor and Infrastructure chairman Cr Adrian Schrinner said the working group was vital to ensuring transport needs for both cities were met.
"We will look at where significant growth has been and consider all options, so that the most appropriate solutions can be delivered."
